Topic:
no friends

hey everyone, im 17 yr old female in my second term of year 12. I have only 2 friends and neither of them do anything social, one of them has super strict family and isnt allowed to, the other just doesnt do anything; they both have mental health issues and are quite stagnant in their lifestyles and dont really do anything new. I love my friends but i feel like im going insane with boredom and loneliness, im usually surrounded by negativity, and i have a past with my social life that has kinda effed me up,( ive been hurt by alot of people ). Long story short, i cant make any new friends at my school and i live in a rural town where if you dont play a generic sport (soccer, AFL, touch, tennis, netball, swimming etc), then there is nothing here for you. Im extremely lonely and just want to live like a normal teenager, i want to party and meet new people, i want to be adventurous and spontaneous, i want to be a teenager; but i dont have anyone to be one with. I dont know what to do.
